Resin preservation is a method of preserving flowers by encapsulating them in a clear, hardened resin. First, flowers are dried whole in silica sand, which helps preserve the original form and sometimes color (depending on flower). After a period of 4-8 weeks of drying, flowers are excavated and designed inside of molds where thin layers of resin are pour to create a block with your flowers inside, frozen in time. Larger resin blocks can get heavy and are typically displayed on tables, mantles, shelves etc.

Pressing flowers is a traditional art form where flowers are taken and pressed flat between layers of paper and cardboard. This slowly dries the flowers for a minimum of 8 weeks. Once the flowers are ready, they are taken from their presses, often times reassembled petal by petal, and designed in a custom frame between two pieces of glass or with a matted background. This method is typically displayed as wall art.

The turnaround time is 3-5 months for both resin and pressed floral frames. Drying and pressing flowers alone takes between 4-8 weeks. There are many steps and hours of labor that go into the preservation process, and we do not want to rush any of them.

As soon as possible! We recommend within 1-2 days after your event. The fresher your flowers, the better.

Currently, I only accept local bouquets. If you are getting married in the Richmond area but live out of town, I am happy to ship your finished pieces to you. The cost of shipping is extra.

If I have availability, I will take last minute orders. It is highly recommended to book your floral preservation at least 1-2 months before your event if possible. Preparing properly helps ensure we receive your flowers in the best possible condition.
